  1. I am a rambling hero by love I an ensnared
    And it's near the town of Mill Street
    There lives a comely maid
    She is fairer than fair Erin
    And she is free from earthly pride
    This comely maids dwelling place
    Is down by the Tanyard side
    For seven long years we walked together
    Until we did agree
    But for the parents
    Tis married we would be
    To me they proved unkind
    Which causes me to cross the tide
    And to leave my love behind
    Down by the Tanyard side
